So Just How Big Is A LightWedge Paperback? Watch this video to find out:

Since our children began to read, we have had a love/hate relationship with book lights. While they made a trip to Grandma's more pleasant, maintaining the bulbs was not. More nerve-racking than that was the fear that they would inadvertently shine the lights in the rear-view mirror or at another car, temporarily blinding/distracting the driver. After a few hair-raising episodes we had to limit book lights to older children only. Had the LightWedge been available it would have eliminated both issues.

The LED illumination means no bulbs to burn out. The distortion-free optical-grade acrylic lens spills the light onto the page, not into anyone's eyes. The thin lens sits flat over the page you wish to read, is hefty enough to hold open the pages of many books, and can also double as a bookmark. Weighing just 6.4 ounces with batteries, the LightWedge Paperback is easy to pack and carry. At just over 5" x 7", the LightWedge Paperback seems bigger than the typical clip-on book light, but once you start to use it you will be pleased with how much easier it is to manage than the bulkier flashlight on a clip. (The lens itself is roughly 6 7/8" by 3 3/4".)

Originally we envisioned these being used as the perfect book lights in the car, but immediately after they arrived we realized that their potential was even greater. They are great for late night reading in bed, especially when some roommates would rather sleep than read. They are nifty tools for those campers who like to read and are frustrated by the irregular lighting that lanterns provide or annoyed with trying to read by flashlight. They would make a thoughtful gift to families facing extended hospital stays with a loved one. And for those of us traveling with aging eyes, it could be just the boost we need when the lighting may not be adequate at a relative's home.

Operating up to forty hours on four "AAA" batteries (not included), LightWedge turns on with a switch that's effortless enough for even small children to operate. With nothing to move, attach, or break, it is simple to operate, easy to handle, and painless to pack. This Lightwedge Paperback Combo also includes a case made of deluxe-feeling neoprene and lined with a microfiber polishing cloth. Compact and not too bulky, there is just enough padding to protect your LightWedge Paperback.

A revolutionary new book light for nighttime reading. Patented LightWedge technology directs all the light only on the page you are reading, without bothering someone sleeping next to you. The smaller-sized LightWedge Paperback is ideal for smaller books or easier packing. Whether reading in bed, reading on a plane, or reading in a car, the LightWedge book light is the perfect accessory for all readers and an ideal gift for travelers.

Requires 4 AAA batteries (not included).
